On this week’s show we head out to the Thunder in the Park event at Pukekohe where we take a good look at some of the muscular metal taking part. We check out Colin Meadow’s C4 Corvette, Graham Barnes’ GT2 V8 Ford Capri and plenty of others. We go onboard in Kayne Scott’s V8 race car, which is now the fastest circuit racing saloon car in New Zealand, and have a scorching hot lap around Pukekohe. From circuit racing to the strip, where we go to Fram Autolite Dragway and catch the action from the NAC Drag Combat. We watch as the best cars from the V8 scene battle against the fastest imports. We take a special look at Wayne Yearbury’s awesome 6-second doorslammer (pictured).

It’s set to be an epic show and not to be missed so don’t forget to tune in this Sunday.
